NAIROBI, May 16 -- Had everything gone to plan, Kenyan long-distance star Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor would now be a four-time World Half Marathon champion and record holder over the distance.

However, like many elite athletes worldwide, his plans for the 2020 season, that included a possible tilt at placing at the track and field World Championships or a fall marathon in Berlin and New York, were disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking during the third National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) online forum titled "The Home Athlete Nutrition Plan," on Friday evening, Kamworor said he has been training alone at home.

Despite his plans for the season being grounded, he expressed his desire to pick up from where he left off once competition resumes, and has even purchased a treadmill to keep fit as he follows the self-isolation guidelines during the lockdown.

"When the competition resumes, we will get to come back stronger because this is part of the challenge and we have accepted the challenge and we have taken it as a path to our next achievement. So let them expect greatest results after the pandemic," he assured.

His signature showpiece, the World Half Marathon Championships, was among the first global sporting events to be postponed to later in the year.

World Athletics and local organizers announced the biannual event set for Gdynia, Poland had been pushed from March 29 to October 17.
